Berlin, Germany - A shocking incident unfolded on Friday night in Berlin's Mitte neighborhood, where a Jewish college student was viciously attacked by a 23-year-old fellow student known for his pro-Hamas views. The assault took place following a heated argument between the two students about the Israel-Hamas conflict, leading to grave concerns about the escalating antisemitic incidents in the region.
The 30-year-old Jewish student, who had previously expressed pro-Israel views on social media, encountered his assailant while out with an acquaintance. As the discussion between the two students intensified, the pro-Hamas activist unleashed a brutal physical assault on the Jewish student, repeatedly punching him in the face.
